Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-utils

In Karmic, When I take screenshots in Gnome when Compiz is activated (I couldn't reproduce the bug when Compiz was off), they are very strange (see the picture attached) : the screenshot is a mix of differents time...

In the first picture, I minimized Firefox and took a screenshot very quickly. a part of firefox is still present.

And sometimes gnome-panel's windows list and desktop switcher are strange : see the second picture

This is an unfixable side effect of using compositing like we are. Only the compositor can get a clear picture of what is on the screen right now.
